Sehr schöne Landschaft und gemütliches Haus

Ein gemütliches altes Haus in den korsischen Bergen in einem kleinen Dorf. Man muss ein kleines Bisschen vom Parkplatz zum Haus zu Fuss gehen. Die Vermieterin war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Küche ist ziemlich gut ausgestattet. Wir konnten gut für unsere 5-köpfige Familie kochen. Es gibt schöne Wanderungen in der Nähe. Auch das Bergdorf Corte ist gut erreichbar. Wie in Korsika üblich: kurvige und enge Strassen.

Classic in the mountains

The property is a bit outdated but has what you need for a stay outside the touristswarms in Corsica. The owner is very friendly although the house is outdated and not super clean everywhere, though accaptable. We had a good stay and made nice trips in the beautifull surroundings. Thanks.

grosses App mit wunderschönem Blick

Wir haben als Familie hier ein paar tolle Tage verbracht. Das Haus, in dem sich die grosse Fewo befindet, hat man ganz für sich alleine. Die Vermieterin wohnt direkt nebenan, ist super freudlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Allerdings sollte man als Gast einige Brocken Französisch können - das macht die Kommunikation leichter ;o) Wir können dieses Objekt uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen!

en pleine montagne corse

Havre de paix au coeur de la Corse intérieure dans un village pittoresque, la maison est agréable et fonctionnelle. Le paysage est très beau et la vue dégagée. Marie est une hôte très accueillante, attentionnée et qui aime faire découvrir son village et son île. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour en famille (des grands-parents au petit bout de chou).

Family of 4 in June

We were of family of four staying a week at the house in June. It was above 30 degrees every day, but the house stayed nice a cool. The landlady lives next door and is very hospitable and helpful, and at the same time the property is very private. The view from the terrace is magnificent and we spent many afternoons and evenings enjoying the view of the valley and Mountains. Supermarket and restaurants are a short drive away in the next village. Many hiking options either from the house or a short drive away. Swiming in the mountain rivers is a must. Ponte Altu and Cascade de Randule were our favorites.

Prima verblijf in de bergen, mooie omgeving en veel gastvrijheid!

We hebben met ons gezin (2 volwassenen en 2 kinderen van 9 en 11) een leuke vakantie gehad, we zijn zeer gastvrij ontvangen met drinken en taart. Het huis is ruim, koel, knus en met een prachtig uitzicht! Prima uitvalsbasis voor uitstapjes in de omgeving: wandelen in de bergen, zwemmen en stadjes bezichtigen! Veel dieren in de directe omgeving (o.a paarden, ezels), dus leuk voor de kinderen!
